Data & Analytics Data Quality Engineer

About The Role

We use innovation to shape data, so it works for everyone and we’re planning to re-platform and improve the existing (commercial, operational and customer) data assets and develop new ones, as well as transform how we work with the business to use our data better.

As part of a centralised data function, you will work closely with Data Engineers in a multi-disciplinary team. You will need to understand complex data flows and both business and technical requirements to develop ETL/ELT reconciliation scenarios and ensure all features are fully tested.

Primarily focusing on quality, you will support the team in sourcing, compiling, and developing reliable and consistent data reporting solutions that enable strategic, insight-driven decision-making. Additionally, you will explore opportunities to streamline or further enhance the team's existing SQL/ETL test automation processes where applicable.

You will ensure that quality engineering principles are highlighted, discussed, and implemented from early design stages through to final production release. This will include reviewing acceptance criteria to determine relevant test scenarios; executing tests and collaborating with business users to ensure sign-off. You will also be responsible for the creation and maintenance of SQL based regression packs.
